Vaginal incision: There is an incision at the top of the vaginal after the uterus is removed. Early intercourse can result in pain from that incision or can result in that incision opening and allowing bowel to fall out of the vagina. Another risk is that an infection will develop in the incision as a result of sex. Better and safer to wait until completely healed.
